Yes it's possible. There was a kernel patch for this (I'm surprised it's not included).


Si

can you tell me what's the name of the patch ?

THANKS

http://www.openembedded.org/repo/org.opene...-2.4.18r2.patch

THANKS!

Excuse me but how i can apply this patch? Which is the command and the directory to put ?

THANKS

Bye

in my linux box i copy the file in /usr/src/linux.

How can i do ?

THANKS

You need to setup a cross toolchain.

I'd set up bitbake/OE (http://openembedded.org/) and then alter the recipe so that that patch is applied to the kernel when you build it.

hrw: Why was the patch removed anyway?

Si

Enabling this patch require also OPIE patching as ioctl() used to control buzzer is removed so no alarms/keyclick/touchscreenclicks. Quality of buzzer sound is also very low..

Excuse me, but i don't understand how i can apply this patch...

can you explain me????

Thanks

I'm sure there was a much easier system involving a little speaker soldered to a jack plug. I think they were on sale somewhere. . . Anyone got any information on this? It just plugged into the headphone socket and meant you didn't need to recompile the kernel. (Something my friends all consider to be the linux equivalent of restarting their windows machines.)

I found this in my bookmarks, the page is still available, but is old.

That's the mucker.

on my PC this url is brocken !

LukeLuke, what are you trying to achieve?

Although the kernel hack is cool, the sound is rubbish - like a poorly tuned AM radio from what I remember.

I also wonder how much power the headphone mod can produce - you might be better with one of those separate, self-powered, speaker systems.


Si

mmmmm.....now nothing!!!! ;-)

I sell my 5500 and i'd take a C1000 :-)

Which distro you sudgesting to me ?

OpenZaurus of course

or try the Angstrom test images for your Akita/sl-c1000: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unsta...20060725/akita/


Si

OpenZaurus with GPE
PdaXrom

I'd advice picking the latest from http://angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/images/ if you're going to try it. Be sure to keep an eye on http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/

On my sl5500 with Sharp ROM, the URL is working fine! Site must have been temporarily inaccessible.

But I just want to trigger the built-in buzzer from a script without going through qtopia or using qcop2 to do it.

Sigh.
